Chapter 357 Master Of The Divine Phoenix Palace: Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus Was Born
Chapter 357: Divine Phoenix Palace Grand Palace Master: Has the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus appeared?
The plan of Emperor Tianxia is exactly the same as that of the Sect Master Yun Zhilan.
Since they know that the transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus is in their own sect, what is there to hesitate about? Of course, they should quickly establish a good relationship with him and share this unparalleled opportunity!
Just by looking at the current immense fortune of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, one can imagine how many benefits she has gained from her junior brother since childhood. These are benefits that cannot be compared to thousands of years of cultivation. If they want to make further progress in the future and completely sever their three corpse incarnations, they must learn from him.
Both women are resolute and decisive, never dragging their feet. They immediately made up their minds.
"Ancestor, we can let the Holy Maidens temporarily take over the position of the Sect Master, and then I will accompany the ancestor to take care of the junior brother in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. We will be back in at most a year and a half. What do you think?" Yun Zhilan said.
"Master, as a disciple who has just recovered from a serious injury and currently has no official position, it is suitable for me to go to the Extreme Void Starry Sky to teach the junior brother. Please fulfill your disciple's wish," Emperor Tianxia also said.
However, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao shook her head and rejected their ideas, "It is definitely not possible at the moment. The external situation is about to undergo a major change. The responsibilities you two bear are important. How can you leave casually? The foundation here cannot be easily abandoned. You must stay and take care of the sect!"
"But..."
Emperor Tianxia blushed slightly and wanted to argue logically, but Immortal Venerable Qing Yao waved her hand and said with a dignified expression,
"It's settled, no more causing trouble! At most, I promise that in the future, I will let the junior brother take care of you two more."
"Alright..."
Emperor Tianxia sighed helplessly, and Yun Zhilan also felt disappointed. They couldn't catch up at this time. When there are more people around the junior brother in the future, they might not even get a sip of water!
However, what Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said also made sense. The foundation of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the Upper Realm is equally important and cannot be lost.
Especially at this critical moment when the calamity is approaching and the two realms are about to be unified, they must not give any opportunity to external hostile forces.
Therefore, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao chose to restore the twelve senior Quasi-Saint Emperors, including Emperor Tianxia, so that when she is not in the Upper Realm, they can supplement the high-end combat power of the sect's main altar and prevent certain external enemies from causing trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao took out two spatial bracelets and handed them to Yun Zhilan, instructing,
"There is a batch of Heavenly Medicine resources inside. Especially those that can heal injuries, prolong life, strengthen the soul, and enhance the physical origin. Take them and distribute them accordingly to see how many elders can be saved."
Yun Zhilan took the bracelets and examined them. She found that they were spatial Law Weapons at the level of Peerless Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures, with extremely large internal spaces. Therefore, various rare and precious Heavenly Medicine resources were piled up inside like mountains.
Among them, there were also semi-matured medicinal herbs that reached the standard of Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine. Just casually taking one out could be sold at a sky-high price in the Apex Level auction house in the Upper Realm, making Yun Zhilan's eyes full of disbelief.
Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine refers to medicinal herbs that have grown for billions of years or core materials obtained from Great Principal Golden Immortal-level rare birds and beasts. They possess various incredible effects and deserve such a title.
Compared to the declining Extreme Void Starry Sky, the environment in the Upper Realm is far superior, with abundant spiritual energy and spiritual veins. There are more master cultivators specializing in cultivating medicinal herbs at the Apex Level. Therefore, various Heavenly Medicine resources are relatively abundant, but far from being excessive.
Generally speaking, only Immortals at the level of Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal have the ability to occasionally enjoy Heavenly Medicine resources. Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine is even rare for senior Quasi-Saint Emperors who have severed their two corpse incarnations. It is a strategic resource that is highly valued in those superpowers.
So, where did Immortal Venerable Qing Yao get so many high-end strategic resources? Could it be because of the credit of that junior brother?
It's simply... unbelievable.
"Yes, it's exactly as you thought, so we must keep it a secret at all costs!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao seemed to have understood her thoughts and explained seriously.
"I understand, Senior!" Yun Zhilan nodded silently. After a brief calculation, if this batch of Heavenly Medicine resources were distributed reasonably, it would probably be able to save another group of higher-ranking elders with relatively minor injuries, significantly improving the overall strength of the sect.
The next step is to draft a suitable list of candidates and make significant adjustments to certain important plans in the sect, shifting the strategic focus towards the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Of course, the most crucial action is to thoroughly screen everyone in the sect, including all disciples, and it must be personally presided over by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao.
To this end, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao has borrowed the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heart Tribulation Dao Interrogating Lotus, from the Divine Maiden Sect. With its extraordinary power, it can identify and screen out any spies lurking in the sect, ensuring minimal mistakes.
The only drawback is that this treasure only works on Great Principal Golden Immortals and below. At the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, its effectiveness is not as obvious and the target may be able to deceive it with clever means.
In the Extreme Void Starry Sky, this flaw is not a big issue, as no orthodox power would send a Quasi-Saint Emperor to act as a spy. Even in the hidden layers that have gradually cultivated their way up, there are basically no examples of someone reaching the Quasi-Saint Emperor level without being exposed.
However, it is different in the Upper Realm. The number of Quasi-Saint Emperors there is much higher than in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, increasing the probability of some slipping through the cracks.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao doesn't have a good solution to this and can only choose to personally screen and guard against it.
Fortunately, her cultivation has greatly advanced now, and face-to-face communication and successful identification still have a certain guarantee. Coupled with the constraints of the Great Dao's oath, the possibility of leaking secrets is minimized.
However, these are all temporary measures. The most crucial factor lies in Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's own cultivation realm.
If she can quickly unify her three corpses and even reach the level where she can sit on an equal footing with the Grand Palace Master of the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Master of the Genesis Star Palace, even if external forces know that the transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus is in her hands, they will still have no way to deal with her.
This is the game rule of the entire space-time world: when your strength is strong enough, what is not yours will become yours; when your strength is not enough, even what is yours cannot be held onto!
...
In the Other Shore Void Cauldron.
In the medicine garden spanning thousands of miles, colorful lights shimmered and the fragrance of medicine filled the air. Different types of herbs with different effects and uses were distributed in patches and areas, growing vigorously.
As the radiant light gradually dissipated, Qin Muling, who had finished his cultivation, did not immediately leave. He continued to tour the medicine garden, holding a handful of five-colored lotus seeds and savoring them contentedly.
Ji Chenxi, Ji Chenyue, Yu Binghua, and Fairy Qing Chan followed behind him, step by step.
The other senior sisters were busy stabilizing their cultivation or had other matters to attend to, so they didn't come along this time. As for the Empress Jun, without Mu Yinghua's permission, they couldn't casually enter the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore to find Qin Muling.
A hundred zhang away was a vast lotus pond covering tens of thousands of acres. It was filled with lush lotus leaves and plump lotus pods the size of washbasins. A faint purple aura enveloped the area, and a captivating fragrance permeated the air. When ordinary cultivators smelled this aura, they would feel a sense of ethereal bliss, with their body and soul inexplicably comfortable and content.
In the lotus pond grew five-colored divine lotuses that had reached the level of Heavenly Medicine. They were enough to make countless Great Principal Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saint Emperors fight over them.
"... The taste of these lotus seeds is good. You should also have some!"
Qin Muling said as she picked a few lotus seeds and handed them to the four women, who happily accepted them.
The medicinal garden belonged to the sect and had strict rules. Every flower, grass, and tree had its own purpose. Even the Quasi-Saint Emperor couldn't use them freely, except for Qin Muling.
Therefore, even if the senior sisters were tempted, they couldn't pick the herbs themselves. They had to wait for the junior brother to pick them for them, so as not to break the rules.
Under the guidance of the stewards, a large group of low-level female cultivators dressed in bright clothes were busy in various parts of the medicinal garden. They were loosening the soil, fertilizing, watering the spiritual springs, pruning branches, adjusting the intensity of the formation and the infusion of spiritual energy, and so on.
The cultivation and management of Spirit Medicine were much more complicated than ordinary crops in the mortal world. The soil, fertilizer, and water used were valuable cultivation resources. Special formations had to be constructed, and spiritual veins provided spiritual nourishment. Female cultivators with sufficient cultivation had to take care of them daily. Each step had strict requirements.
The demand for herbal resources in the cultivation world was extremely exaggerated. Even with the intervention of professional herbal cultivation masters, the maturation period of Spirit Medicine could be greatly shortened. For example, with the full intervention of a master, an ordinary Crimson Leaf Heavenly Bead Grass could reach the level of Holy Medicine in as little as five hundred years. However, it still couldn't meet the huge market demand.
Therefore, in the past, the Extreme Void Starry Sky and the high-end herbal resource market were always in short supply. Even if you paid a high price, you might not be able to find enough supply. The situation in the upper realm was slightly better, but resources for Heavenly Medicine and Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine were still scarce.
It wasn't until Qin Muling appeared that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace achieved "herbal freedom." As long as the female cultivators met the requirements, they could obtain a sufficient quota of high-end herbal resources without having to carefully manage their daily lives like before.
"Junior brother..."
Ji Chenxi, with her cold and beautiful eyes, approached and pleaded softly, "When will you go visit Aunt? It's been so long since you last saw her, and she misses you a lot! And what about the four maids you selected last time? Shouldn't they come in and serve you now? Since you made a promise, you should fulfill it!"
Qin Muling glanced at Fairy Qing Chan beside her and pondered, "We still have to wait a bit. Otherwise, too many people will squeeze in, and you all won't have enough to eat."
After giving some leeway to the Ji family's female disciples, what about the senior sisters from other factions? Should they be given the same treatment? If not, they would undoubtedly complain. But if they were given the same treatment, there wouldn't be enough Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme to go around, and everyone would be dissatisfied.
So this matter could only be temporarily shelved until Qin Muling's cultivation advanced further.
"Alright, as long as you don't forget, junior brother!"
The twin sisters understood Qin Muling's difficulties and stopped insisting on the matter.
Fairy Qing Chan gave them a disdainful look, thinking, "What are those female disciples from your family? My master, Emperor Tong Ying, is still waiting in line!"
Therefore, she had to serve the junior brother well during the next cultivation session and try to persuade him to give her master some special treatment, allowing her to enter the sect first. Even if they had secret interactions and didn't make it public for the time being, it would be acceptable.
...
In the upper realm, at the main hall of the Divine Phoenix Palace.
In the grand and profound hall, a distant, lonely, and majestic voice echoed, "The Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus has actually appeared in the depths of the chaotic void? This news is not trivial. Has it been verified?"
In the hall, dozens of hazy and unfathomable figures sat quietly. Each figure was like a scorching sun, exuding an overwhelming and suffocating pressure.
In the seemingly calm space, there were actually hidden turbulent currents and collisions of the power of rules. Even a Great Principal Golden Immortal-level cultivator who rashly entered could be crushed by this invisible pressure.
After a few breaths, a round and elegant voice spoke, "Reporting to the palace lord, this information was reported by a senior elder who had just returned from the chaotic void. At that time, she was surrounded by countless chaotic creatures, but unfortunately, she didn't have time to take action. The Azure Lotus disappeared in the depths of the chaotic tide before she could do anything!"
Speaking, she raised her hand and released a circle of magical projection mirrors, showing the scene deep in the chaos of the Hongmeng, where countless strange and ferocious creatures were raging and chaotic, rushing towards a huge and incomparable Azure Lotus phantom in the middle.
However, their frenzied attacks were repeatedly interrupted by the boundless chaos sword energy. Countless creatures were torn apart and annihilated by the terrifying Sword Intent, leaving only piles of life essence source crystals.
"...Indeed, it is the legendary Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus aura. There should be no mistake!"
A cold and proud voice sounded, and there was no other voice questioning or opposing.
With the unparalleled cultivation and vision of these powerful beings present, it was impossible to deceive them.
The figure on the high platform was like a deep bottomless black hole, with a pressure and sense of awe that reached the depths of the soul. If a Great Principal Golden Immortal-level existence dared to directly face her true form, they could potentially suffer heavy injuries.
After a while, the voice of the Grand Palace Master echoed, "If this clue is accurate, does it mean that the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus already has an owner?"
The hall fell silent.
These important figures of the Divine Phoenix Palace instantly realized that when a treasure appeared, it would be envied by the highest heavenly path, and being besieged by countless chaotic creatures was an expected result. Only by enduring it could they have boundless opportunities, but if they couldn't endure it... then they would only meet their demise.
This was similar to the fate that cultivators had to go through multiple heavenly tribulations to obtain the great path.
However, the existence that intercepted these chaotic creatures attacking was obviously someone else, not the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus itself.
All the powerful beings stared at the Azure Lotus phantom, and various unimaginable Divine Ability secret techniques quietly activated. Some even sacrificed several lifespans of their cultivation to try to capture any trace of this treasure and the people around it.
"There's no need to waste your efforts," the voice of the Grand Palace Master sounded again. "With the status of this supreme divine object, even if I were to spare no expense to take action, it would be difficult to probe its true nature. Only those who have truly transcended and achieved the Supreme Primordial Saint Dao Fruit, the existence of the Supreme Primordial Saint Dao, would have a chance to know its origins."
The Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, also known as the Genesis Azure Lotus. Various legends about it have been circulating since the distant and unverifiable ancient times, but no one has seen its true face.
Among these legends, the most enticing one for countless beings is that whoever can fully possess and control it will obtain the supreme opportunity to achieve enlightenment and become a saint. From then on, they would live in eternal bliss, free from all calamities, surpassing all cause and effect, and transcending everything, eternally liberated.
Now that it had appeared before them, what to do next was self-evident.
"Palace Master, I propose mobilizing half of the Quasi-Saint Emperor-level experts within the sect to immediately set off for the depths of the chaotic void, searching for the trace of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus. No matter the cost, we must subdue it and bring it back to the sect!"
A resolute and decisive voice said, immediately gaining the agreement and support of many important figures.
If the Divine Phoenix Palace possessed the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, the situation would be set, and unifying the two realms would be a matter of course.
By the time the Grand Palace Master achieved enlightenment and became a saint, even if all the external superpowers joined forces, they might not be able to contend with the Divine Phoenix Palace.
Faced with such a heaven-defying opportunity, it was difficult for anyone to remain true to themselves.
The Grand Palace Master remained silent for a while before gently saying, "It sounds good, but the Hongmeng chaos is vast and boundless, much larger than all the time and space worlds combined. In a situation where no divination or spiritual treasure can be used, where should we start?"
